there may be finishes
at least I hope so! I'm linking up to the second quarter of the 2013 Finish-a-Long at she can quilt.
First up the May quilt - that isn't actually it's name but it's a secret project I've been working on - thus I can't show you any actual pictures but this top has been finished and quilted, I just have the epic task of sewing binding on a king size quilt!
I have a bunch of other projects that I want to get done but haven't even made a start on them - there's so much inspiration everywhere that I am always adding to the things I'd like to do. That might be a list for another time!
Join in and see what you can finish!

Next the DP quilt I'm making for Cindy, using fabulous fabrics from Fluffy Sheep Quilting - I am sorting the blocks into a pattern then will decide about whether it will have a border or not.
Then a rollover from the last 2 FALs: the Braid quilt, this has no 'purpose' though I may (so tentative about this!) have a little stall at a PTA sale for my son's school in the summer so it might end up there! I have sewn the braids into rows and decided not to add a border, just needs quilting and binding now:
This one is also a rollover and might be a push but I hope to at least get back to making blocks because so far it looks so pretty!! This is the How Far Will You Go? QAL
And if I'm really pushing it I might even try to get my AMH feather quilt done with all my lovely bee blocks - I'm just waiting for a couple more to arrive and then I can start piecing them together :)

FAL while I wait
I wasn't going to but what the heck?! I might as well list some things I'd like to get finished and join in the Finish-A-Long hosted by Leanne!
So inevitably the first thing I'd like finished is this pregnancy. What, doesn't that count?! Well I still want it done ;)
Realistically once the bub arrives I don't know how I will sew (I'd like to think I'll master multitasking, quilting and breastfeeding simultaneously but there's that slight concern about needles, rotary cutters etc. Damn it!) but should I have any spare time at all I would love to get these finished...
Rolling over from the last FAL:
- Blogger's BOM quilt- quilt top still needs borders (all nice and wrinkly because it's been folded up on my desk!)
Also in piles on my sewing desk:
- Tooth Fairy cushions - I have a stack of three designs all 'bondawebbed' and ready to applique, just need to do it!
- The Braid Quilt - again this just needs borders
So we shall see. No pressure. Obviously taking care of children is my priority but there may just be the odd hour when one is at school, one is at playgroup (or Granny's house!) and one is sleeping. Finger's crossed hey?
Speaking of kids, last night over dinner we were trying to explain what wishes are... here's the three wishes they'd each ask for from a genie (total 'mum' style I wrote them down immediately!):
He is 4 and she is 3 and this list just perfectly sums up their little personalities!
